Fig. 95 Is a handsome rim from the early Onondaga fort west of 

 Cazenovia. Near the top a row of vertical points is crossed by a 

 narrow longitudinal groove. There are two horizontal grooves 

 below this, with diagonal grooves below them. Between these is 

 a row of curved lines, apparently finger marks. j^Jost ordinary pat- 

 terns are found on this site. Fig. 96 is a very neat rim from a 

 stockade on the south side of the Seneca river. The top is nicely 

 rounded as well as notched. Two horizontal grooves are below 

 this^ and still lower are parallel diagonal lines arranged in groups 

 with opposite slopes. The basal notches penetrate these. 



Fig. 97 is a perfectly plain Seneca vessel from West Bloomfield. 

 There is not even an angular projection. Fig. 98 is a rim from the 

 fort west of Cazenovia, which is of unusual design. The surface 

 above the projection is divided by vertical grooves, and every alter- 

 nate space between these is divided into squares by transverse 

 grooves. Fig. 99 is a rim from the fort on the east bank of Garoga 

 creek, in Fulton county. The edge of the rim has a spiral fluting, 

 beneath which are horizontal and diagonal grooves. Fig. 100 is a 

 characteristic fragment from Henderson Harbor, showing the three 

 elliptic indentations so common in that region. The rim is slightly 

 notched across and ornamented within. Most of the outside orna- 

 mentation is of short dashes arranged in lines. 



Fig. loi is a Mohawk rim with a human figure^ which is nearly 

 full length, the usual projection terminating it at the knees. The 

 bod}^ and limbs have cross bars, and there is an elaborate array of 

 grooves in almost every direction. This is from the fort in Fulton 

 county, which seems one of the earliest occupied by the Mohawks 

 in New York. At the foot of the hill on which this stood, are the 

 clay pits used in making these vessels. Large fragments are fre- 

 quent there. 



Fig. 102 is a Seneca vessel with a deep rim projecting abruptly 

 from the bowl. There are two elevated angles. The broad pro- 

 jection is ornamented with three encircling grooves, and a row of 

 elliptic indentations. This is from West Bloomfield, like several 

 others figured for this paper. Fig. 103 is a rim from the fort in 

 Fulton county, notched^ and with narrow horizontal and diagonal
